Merchandise Options

[jack]

Must agree, the simple idea is good and easy! If we can get it edited up nice in some good colours? Blue and Dark blue or somthing and have a jpeg img, we can use online and in the forums and sigs etc and a simpler version for shirts and caps..

PNG is a well known/used image file standard nowadays which allows for much better transparancy than GIF, so the logo can be put on any colour background and still look good. JPEG does not allow for transparancy at all I believe so your stuck with the background colour that it was made with.

Jumpus if you like it just let me know and I'll send you the photoshop files, if not fair enough I can change and or delete easily
It was just an idea that I was playing around with.

I'll make some inquiries 1st Jack

See what sort of pricing I can get on merchandise ect

[Jumpus GooDarus]

OK guys

I made some inquiries today even got a cattlelog of some shirts etc but left it behind so cant post any pics

Anyways will go in next week to have a looky @ the shirts but I didn't see any of the Columbian types shirts in the book which I think may be the more popular ???????????????????????????????????????

Just need some show of hands as to how many are interested ??????

If you're not serious please dont put your hand up I dont want any non genuin peeps throwing out the pricing structure of the shirts.

Now products allways look nice out of a book but I like to see the product in person & get an idea of the quality

There's both polyester & cotton shirts cotton will breathe the poly's wont

For these polo neck shirts embroided with logo will go approx $20 each

Have no idea how much the Columbian type shirts will cost

As far as caps go ????

Well as mentioned earlier & I asked 2day & there's no probs getting as many Viva Caps as I want free of charge oz man had allready inquired & looking @ around $3 - $4 per cap to get embroided + a couple of $'s on top of that to go to site maitenance which I think is fair considering caps are over $10 in shops

[kkw]

I would be in for a shirt .....

[poly]

if they are the long sleeve cotton shirts then count me in

[jack]

I'm in

Still very interested in the Columbia type shirts as well.

I'd like to see a choice of both short sleeved & the long sleeved shirts poly

Christos pointed out to me today that I should be looking for high UV rating something I was not aware of

[poly]

yep 30+ more expensive, but worth it after all u have seen how i burn.

p.s. possum said to put her down for a shirt to

[It'l Do]

Jumpy, I am interested as long as the polos have a pocket. If you are buying polo's through an embroidery/printing shop pockets are easy to get.

For what it is worth Biz Collections from NZ were the most generous size but Johnny Bobbins were good as well.

BTW, I used to get our club shirts from GC Apparel. They also make their own shirts and it's in Botany.

I was also thinking how earlier I'd mentioned that I didn't think the members here should have to pay for the stickers since the stickers were advertising for the site.

Now what I will do is put up a few items in the Auction Forum with the profits not going into the charity kitty

Instead towards the payment of the stickers, these items will be noted so once I decide what they'll be

Hey that man stole my hat!!

[Spudly]

Jumpy, Ill grab a couple of hats and one of each shirts!!

we are going to have to check sizes though?

We use the biz collections shirts through work and thay are pretty good, I wear a 2XL.

As for hats? Can you let us know what style the hats are?

[jasonb]

i thought the money from the charity kitty was gonna go towards all this so us members got them for free ?

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Think you are very mistaken jason & nowhere have I said so exept for the stickers.

The whole purpose of the auction forum is to raise money for charity & nothing else the members of this site are not a registered charity.

Alot of the items in the auction threads were either donated or given to me @ silly prices only because I told those people we were going to raise funds for a charity & I'm afraid you're looking in the wrong place if you're after freeby's.

On another note guys just to clarify a thing in regards to the shirts

OK cotton versus polyester

cotton breathes poly dosen't

cotton needs ironing after washing whereas poly dosen't [might explain why our poly is showing signs of wrinkles ]

After speaking to a friend yesterday who's going to take me & introduse me to his mates in the shirt importing buisness next week

Well he recomended a 50% cotton / 50 % poly mix on the shirts

[jasonb]

it was mentioned somewhere that the members should or would get them for free ,,ill see if i can find it ,,then again its prolly been deleted now
